    I’ll keep this simple. The game is shallow, tedious and broken. Don’t get sucked in by the shiny visuals. The people giving this high scores obviously haven’t played very much of the game nor have they encountered the many gamebreaking bugs.

The game is shallow, tedious and broken. Don’t get sucked in by the shiny visuals. The people giving this high scores obviously haven’t played very much of the game nor have they encountered the many gamebreaking bugs.

    The combat is tedious and clunky, the loot is boring, there are only three areas in the game and they all play the same. There is no mission variety, in fact when free roaming any world all you do is activate a beacon that leads to 3 garbage puzzles and once you finish them, the game doesn't give you anything else to do except warp back to the main hub so you can reload to the same area to do the same thing again for little reward.

    At the the time of this review there are several major bugs that make the game unplayable. These vary from not letting you attack enemies, to not being able to open chests and collect resources to being permanently unable to complete the free roam beacons.

    There is some potential here and with a lot of work, this could be a decent game. At present this game is not ready for prime time and was rushed to release. Avoid.    … Expand

    is it worth 60? no not at all, is it incredibly fun? yes! the combat and loot/min max experience feels really good and overall it seems very polished in the loot/combat department. How can the game be improved? idk but the game is missing something, idk what it is but when you play you will notice that it just doesn't feel full

    This game is utter embarrassment. They're trying to copy Warframe but failed to do so. Gearbox is becoming very low quality. Fix it guys!!!

    Graphics are next-gen, weapon design and fight mechanics are so satisfying. The audio is solid and the use of the dual sense control gives it a true feeling of heft.    … Expand

    J'ai voulu tester le jeu pour avoir un avis parce qu'étant l'un des premiers AAA next gen la curiosité l'a emporté. Et je voulais savoir si les notes très moyennes sont justifiées.

Et je voulais savoir si les notes très moyennes sont justifiées.
    Et..... bah oui. Que de déceptions.
    Alors je vais quand même commencer par les points positifs.
    Les graphismes sont plutôt beaux et le jeu de couleur et luminosité sont bien rendu. Les décors sont plutôt bien travailler et d'ailleurs c'est pour ma part ce qu'il y a de mieux dans le jeu.
    Voilà ça s'arrête là. Pas d'autre point positif.
    Et le gros point noir c'est clairement le gameplay, qu'est ce que c'est lourd avec une sorte de sensation de crispation des persos. Et ça devient très ennuyant tellement c'est toujours pareil. Il n'y a aucune variété dans la façon de jouer.
    Concernant les contenus bah c'est quasi vide, les menus ne servent quasi à rien alors qu'il y a un coté RPG et le peu de temps que l'on passe dans les menus c'est pas du tout bien foutu, pas instinctif, pas ergonomique. Il y a quasi rien à faire sauf taper, taper, taper. A si les système de butin qui aurait pu être attrayant avec un coté prenant, mais non, on s'en moque assez vite.
    Le scénar est quasi inexistant, cherchez pas à trouver une histoire ou une narration, elle est réduit à peau de chagrin, quelques passage pour dire qu'il se passe des choses mais c'est tout. Et c'est d'un basique...
    Au niveau de l'IA alors là c'est au niveau des pâquerettes. A ce demander si ils en on une. L'IA ce limite quasi à ne faire que taper, les esquives, protections ou même changement de patern sont quasi inexistant.
    Le jeu à quelques bug. Par moment j'ai eu les menus qui se sont superposés, lors de baston des coups passer au travers de l'ennemis, j'ai eu aussi par 2 fois un ennemis qui se retrouve bloquer dans un mur et l'autre les jambes dans le sol. Très drôle d'ailleurs de le voir courir sans pouvoir bouger.
    Et dernier défaut, la fluidité. Alors là c'est pas normal pour un jeu qui est quand même assez vide. Par moment on sent vraiment la chute de fps, surtout avec les pouvoirs/combo.
    En conclusion un jeu vraiment très très très moyen. Limite décevant surtout pour un AAA.
    Ca reste un jeu un peu défouloir, qui graphiquement et plutôt réussit mais c'est tout.    … Expand

    Honestly don’t get the hate for this game. What it sets out to do, it does very well. Much more enjoyable and polished than other games of its type at launch, and as many of those have shown, can only get better. Runs like a dream on PS5, as well.

The second, you can definitely get a bit lost in but the combat is still fun and by this time you’re starting to find your groove. The third is a hedge maze of sameness and you start to realize that the game really only has 3 levels of assets that were vomited into a semblance of “level design” So not only are the environments getting bland but all of the sudden the boss battles turn into pure stupid with multiple enemies spamming unblockable attacks that just juggle you to death. And holy crap, the constant stuttering. Every 15-20 seconds the game stutters, on a couple of occasions ending with a crash. This really is an empty shell of a game that has no real story, combat that falls flat and completely unbalanced toward the end and leaves you with nothing but a regret for wasting your time with it. At least that’s where I stand. I have ZERO intention of finishing this or even playing again. All I can say is THANK GOD I bought a used hard copy. Now I can at least sell it and get some of my money back.… Expand

    Godfall is nice story was boring and honestly didn't understand anything, but the gameplay is really nice especially coop and the game isn't just mash and kill there's techniques, weapon upgrades and honestly boss fights are really tough, the game has some dark souls elements but not worth 70 bucks

    Highly entertaining after 20 hrs of gameplay. Loot system is brilliant and character development is deep. The fight engine is great and very satisfying with absolutely stunning visuals. The narrative leaves a little to be desired but the story line is interesting. At first glance, it reminded me of elements of God of War meets Ninja Gaiden. Hard to not enjoy if you are a slasher game fan.

There is multiplayer but you have to convince a friend to buy the game or ask someone online to play with you because theres no public matchmaking. Playing this game solo on hard mode is extremely brutal and the grind for better weapons and upgrading gear is pretty boring too. The valorplates are cool, but theres only like ten of them in the game and they all do the same thing except for maybe spawning a different ally or damage buffs. If this game had public matchmaking and more valorplates and made them completely different, this game would 100% be worth the next gen price.

    This game has some stellar graphics, and also pretty fluid combat mechanics. My biggest gripe is that because there is no matchmaking. The game is advertised as an online only 3 player co-op looter. The bosses are designed for 3 players. Yet there is no in game matchmaking. This makes you mostly end up playing solo which can be extra difficult for some boss fights. GAME NEEDS MATCHMAKING!!

The enemies are non interesting, basically don't aggro and are very easily defeated. The stagger mechanic is horrible and should be removed. Loot has almost zero impact and there is so much that it becomes meaningless. No matchmaking and if you are playing in Australia, forget multiplayer as the servers are in the US so enemies, allies and even your own character will pop all over the map.

    Godfall doesn’t do anything egregious or worse than any of the other disappointing looters of this generation, but it does almost everything equally as badly in a weird perfect balance. This is what makes it so frustrating. There is definite potential for a gem inside this game, but it’s so busy with being a downright average-at-best looter that it loses all semblance of actual personality, a key component to maintaining a looter game. Impressively non-existent story, incredibly derivative art, classes which mean absolutely nothing, a deceptively small loot pool, technical issues up the wazoo, terrible endgame design and a horrific netcode all add up to a visually pleasing but soulless affair that can’t even begin to escape being categorised as anything more than a flashy tech demo.

    After wrapping Godfall, I was left with the feeling that it’s going to be a one-and-done. I can’t see myself doing its endless trials or repeating the endgame boss fights — it just doesn’t feel like there’s anything more to work towards. The graphics are great and the combat is enjoyable, but it gets samey too quickly and ends up as a typical next-generation launch game that will be soon forgotten.
